Words mean things. So, yeah, that's what it takes.
Approved and authorized mean the same thing FYI.
www.thesaurus.com it if my word doesn't count. Though I don't blame if it doesn't as I'm not the best with grammar.
Thanks for helping us to understand that you understand, though, that was really the whole point.
Well you did ask.
TD, do you know what being released to strike means?
I don't believe anything in my statement was inaccurate. What I've stated was backed word for word in several articles. I even dug a few up just to make sure. I said that the Pinnacle pilots were approved to strike and they were. At no point in anything I wrote did I say otherwise and I'm not responsible for anyone's false interpretations. Well no more than the multiple articles it was featured in anyway.
Take Pinnacle for instance. They were approved to strike. If the opportunity comes, and they back down now after all the publicity, the company will know they can walk right over them.
***See section 6 Railway Labor Act*** for anyone that wants to see how the company and pilot group handles this situation. I believe they are in their "cooling off" period right now. Does anyone know when it ends and when the final decision date is?
